Grills cook food, is my logic.
Except apparently this one did not.
Adding pointless software to products to keep rich failsons in work. Very efficient and good system.
This kind of dumb shit is exactly why I keep saying capitalist space travel won't work. These companies can't help but compromise their goods with pointless convolutions based on weird internal politics and grifts in a desperate bid to maximise profit over efficiency, and anything to do with space needs to be extremely efficient or that shit just ain't happening.
Can't wait to try to live a normal functioning life in Space.
BTW after we made all your apps pay2win games or monthly subscriptions, nothing works because your latency from Earth is 45 minutes.
Unless you bought Sony products, because this space colony is a Sony Tesla joint venture.
Cyberpunk in fiction: you've been given super-human abilities through the power of augmentation and cyberspace is a boundless realm of endless possibilities. it's time to take down all the mega-corps and the government.
Cyberpunk in reality: some intern in Palo Alto has to work on thanksgiving to push an update to a smart-grill so his boss's boss can continue scamming investors on a product that's just a raspberry pi hooked up to a $40 grill. the entire economy will collapse if this doesn't happen.
The internet of things is a disaster and you can't convince me otherwise
I refuse to look up what the wifi does for this grill, but I will assume it's something useless.
Probably monitor temp from ur phone while you post
This is extremely not grillpilled
You use fire to cook your food? lol, how barbaric. I use USB heat powered by NFTs.
"Sorry, the update we pushed glitched the actual smoke detection, so the alarm wouldn't go off until the smoke was well beyond fatal levels. We recognize some customers are concerned, and we will announce an update plan shortly. For now, please enjoy $5 off your monthly subscription!"
I point to stuff like this when people complain that American nuclear systems still run on floppy drives. There is a lot of upkeep that needs done with the nuclear arsenal, but generally speaking, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That last thing we need is a WiFi-capable system running an ME-enabled processor in charge of the most destructive weapons in human history. The attack vectors on these systems have largely been discovered and mitigated. This smart home stuff is built by people in dysfunctional organizations flying by the seat of their pants. Show me an IoT company that isn’t run by incompetent ghouls and I’ll show you one of the few tech companies worth applying to
If you bought a grill that somehow needs a computer and WiFi, you deserve every ruined holiday coming your way.

This year I'm thankful for for my cheapass kettle style grill.
My bbq is a barrel cut in half. If there's somehow software in it, i didnt put it there.
My grill is a metal grate that I put over my fire pit if I wanna make food with it.
Is that a bloody headphone jack on the bottom left corner? I know people want headphone jacks back, but this is not what we meant ...
:a-guy:
mmmm you can really hear the audio quality of the meat sizzling
To be serious it's probably some crap karaoke built in thing. But still, just why?
Ahh that makes more sense. Measure the internal temperature of what you're cooking.
They made the Gary Coleman grill + MP3 player from Drake and Josh into a real thing
Yeah that's what it is, another user figured it out below.
